Both models will also be offered in the Indian market. Husqvarna has confirmed that both models will go on sale in international markets by 2017.

Both, the Vitpilen and Svartpilen motorcycles will share a common engine. KTM is most likely to provide their 373cc single-cylinder engine that does duty in their 390 Duke and RC390 models. Husqvarna will tune these engines to suit the characteristics of their new models for global markets.
